A Breach is a Symptom


A Breach is a Symptom

I was listening to a cybersecurity podcast recently and the guest made the statement "A breach is a symptom of the deeper problem." Too often we focus on the outwardly visible and notable aspects of an issue versus the underlying problem.

Without addressing the real problem driving the symptom, these issues will continue to percolate and show themselves, too often at inopportune times. This may take more time, energy, and effort in the short run, but will often pay the dividends many times over through the future.

It is time to put the effort into fixing the issue, versus placing a temporary Band-Aid on it.
